The

Summoner

1
 Summoner
With a deep breath, she exhales, letting go of her fatigue.
This is the moment she has been waiting for, when all
hope seems lost she lifts up her head and draws forth an
incredible power. The ground below begins to tremble
and from beneath them, a behemoth steps forward,
loose from its tether to vanquish the overwhelming
threat.
The elf knew he must do something to save his
captured companions from the imp coalition. He looks to
the heavens for help, calling forth a beacon of hope. A
winged angel descends ready to smite the wicked beings
where they stand.
A tiefling laughs maniacally as she pulls forth a great
demon from the plane of hades. The ogre begins to
cower in the presence of such might. This demon could
destroy the pathetic creature with a single swing.
A summoner’s power comes from beyond the
material planes, and thus they can draw forth powers
like no other. They are dangerous opponents, but worthy
companions, whether they may be influenced by the
forces of good, or the forces of evil.

ability to tap into a source of power with which you cast
your spells.

the summoner spell list listed below.

The Summoner Spellcasting table shows how many
spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and
higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a
slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all
expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

for you to cast, choosing from the druid spell list. When
you do so, choose a number of druid spells equal to your
Wisdom or Charisma modifier + your druid level
(minimum of one) The spells must be of a levei for
which you
have spell slots.

have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots, With a
Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include
six spells of 1st ar 2nd level, in any combination. If you
prepare the lst.level spell cure wounds, you can cast it
using a 1st-level a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell
doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells,

your summoner spells. You use your Wisdom or

ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom or Charisma
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a
summoner spell you cast and when making an attack
roll with one.

times listed in the summon creature column of the
Summoner table. You regain expended uses when you
finish a short or long rest. This creature takes your

creature that can be summoned depends upon the
influence you choose.
